embylad892746 15 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) System: Intel i5-11320H, Debian 11.2 Bullseye (5.10.0-10-amd64), running Docker. If i restart computer, load a video and transcode it will always work the first time. If i start any subsequent transcodes they all default to software. If i restart the container then go to transcoding settings, all the Quicksync/VAAPI options mysteriously disappear! I've tried completely headless (booting to Cli), and headless booting to GUI (with DP dummy plug) and the result is always the same. I think it has nothing to do with dummy plug or not because i recently moved from an older computer (completely headless) and had no problem using quicksync. From what i can see in logs, it realizes it can HW transcode using quicksync then for no reason at all, says it's falling back to software. I'm using linuxserver/emby docker image (always worked previously on old system without problems). I've also tried official emby docker image after correctly giving it the GUIDs from getent commands, but still not working. getent group render | cut -d: -f3 and getent group render | cut -d: -f3 Any advice? lsmod | grep i915 i915 2711552 1 i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 i915 drm_kms_helper 278528 1 i915 cec 61440 2 drm_kms_helper,i915 drm 618496 3 drm_kms_helper,i915 video 53248 1 i915 ffmpeg-transcode-988890ac-761d-48c8-98e5-9972109725b3_1.txt Edited March 22, 2022 by embylad892746 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embylad892746 15 Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 lastly, on a clean boot, quicksync will work exactly one time before stop working.

embylad892746 15 Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 @Luke i also tried upgrading Linux Kernal to 5.16 and the problem is the exact same. On a complete PC restart, the FIRST time emby docker starts up, the FIRST transcode will always work (sometimes 2 at same time). I can see the Quicksync is working. Then if i close either of those videos and start anything else it's over. No more transcoding period for anything until the PC gets completely rebooted again... it's almost as if Quicksync is working fine initially then crashes and is never able to recover until a reboot. So in summary, Kernal update not fixing it, problem same between Emby linuxserver image and official emby image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just meant for temporary testing and should be totally separate from your Docker installation - just a blank Emby Server installation to which you add a library folder with some files for testing - that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Droid 631 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) One more thing, just to see what it has: getfacl /dev/dri/card0 getfacl /dev/dri/renderD128 But I think the change which could make a difference is to add supplementary group render to user debian (1000). And by the way, I think the entry in your compose for /opt/vc/lib is specific to R-Pi and not needed. Maybe should remove that line. - /opt/vc/lib:/opt/vc/lib #optional Edited April 3, 2022 by Q-Droid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embylad892746 15 Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 @Luke i just transcoded a video on my local install, was working fine, stopped it and tried transcoding a different video and then it "broke" like usual. So here are the log files on the local system AFTER quicksync has stopped working. So to summarize the problem so far: On Docker AND direct host install the problem is the exact same. On a complete system reboot, Encoders/Decoders in settings show the first time and transcoding works the very first time i start up emby. After the first transcode, it's almost as if quicksync "crashes" because after that i'm hosed. All the encoders/decoders will magically be gone from settings menu and transcoding never works again until the next system reboot.... This literally makes no sense. The problem is the same on different kernel versions, and i tried Ubuntu as well as Debian. Exact same problem. embyserver_after_breaking.txt hardware_detection-63784699598_after_breaking.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
